Rare. Worldcat lists only two copies worldwide, with no copy recorded in the United States. In 1882, the Hebrew Foreign Mission Society of New Orleans, in conjunction with the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society, sponsored an agricultural colony of Russian Jews at Sicily Island in Catahoula Parish. The project was aborted after just two years when the Mississippi River overflowed, flooding the entire area. For details see: https://www.isjl.org/louisiana-sicily-island-encyclopedia.html.
